“Funny” Tweets About Barron Trump At The Inauguration Are Not Appropriate
Criticism of Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric, and Tiffany Trump is completely fine. They are adults, and their actions as such are up for public debate. Especially considering that Donald Jr. and Eric Trump will now be running the Trump Organization; to leave them alone and out of proverbial print would be doing a disservice to the country. With Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, set to be closely entwined with the White House, they too are open for critique.
But a 10-year-old boy should be exempt from public bullying. This is probably easier for a mother to grasp, because imagining one’s own child in a similar position is pretty much a reflex. And the thought, to me, is devastating.
I’d encourage everyone to leave Barron Trump out of their disdain and disgust with his father. Michelle Obama’s advice is apt here: “When they go low, we go high.” Don’t let a political rage reduce you to someone who bullies a child. Go high, and leave Barron alone.
You can’t choose your family. However you might feel about Darth Orange, the kid should be off-limits.
